CJI Surya Kant Launches AI Chatbot ‘Su Sahay’, Unveils ‘One Case One Data’ Reform
Supreme Court begins major digital integration project to improve case management and public access to judicial services.
New Delhi, May 11: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Monday announced a major technology-driven reform aimed at modernising India’s judicial system through integrated digital infrastructure and AI-powered public assistance services.
Speaking at the beginning of the day’s court proceedings, the Chief Justice revealed the launch of the “One Case One Data” initiative, a nationwide digital project designed to unify court related information from high courts, district courts and taluka courts into a single interconnected system.
The initiative seeks to improve judicial efficiency by creating a centralized database that can streamline case tracking, record management and information sharing across multiple levels of the judiciary. According to the Chief Justice, the integrated system is expected to strengthen case management and enhance coordination between courts across the country.
“We are commencing the ‘One Case One Data’ initiative with multi-level information of all high courts, district and taluka court details embedded. We look forward to developing an efficient case management system,” the CJI said during the announcement.
Alongside the digital integration project, the Supreme Court also launched an Artificial Intelligence-powered chatbot named “Su Sahay” to assist litigants and citizens accessing services through the Supreme Court website.
The AI-based assistance platform has been developed jointly by the National Informatics Centre and the Supreme Court Registry. The chatbot is intended to provide users with simplified guidance regarding court procedures, filing systems and other essential judicial services.
Chief Justice Surya Kant said the chatbot would make legal assistance and procedural information more accessible to the public through a user-friendly digital interface.
“We are also launching ‘Su Sahay’, an assistance chatbot for our website, developed by the NIC in collaboration with the Registry. This will provide a simple and convenient interface for citizens to seek front-end guidelines and guidance in accessing essential services of the Supreme Court,” he stated.
The CJI also appreciated the contribution of Registry officials, technical teams and members of the Bar who supported the implementation of the new digital initiatives.
He expressed confidence that both projects would improve transparency, efficiency and accessibility within the Indian judicial system while benefiting lawyers, litigants and court administrators alike.
Legal experts believe the initiatives represent another significant step in the judiciary’s ongoing digital transformation efforts. Analysts say centralized judicial databases and AI-assisted support systems could help reduce procedural delays, simplify public interaction with courts and improve administrative efficiency over time.
The launch also reflects the growing role of technology and artificial intelligence in India’s governance and institutional reforms, particularly in sectors requiring large-scale data management and citizen services.
